VANITY CASE ADAPTED TO SEPARATE COMPACTS OF CONTRASTING SHADES.

Application filed January 15, 1927. Serial No. 161,441.

The object of my invention is to provide novel "anity cases and a novelarrangement of compacts or rouge cakes of different shades or colorsforuse in such vanity cases and to provide other novel details ofconstruction of the plates which carry such compacts or rouge cakes andtheribs used to space the compacts or rouge cakes.

I attain these and other objects of my invention by the devicesillustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a topplan. view of my vanity case, with the cover open to show thearrangement of the compacts and showing my improved form of detachablerib;

Like. characters of reference designate like parts in each of theseveral views.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, 1 provide a suitable vanity case1 having a suitable hinged orother cover 2 carrying a suitable mirror 3such as shown in Fig. 1. I also provide a suitable compact carryingplate 4 having a suitable rib member such as therib member 5 in Figs. 2and 3 or member 10 in Fig. 1 or member 8 in Fig. 4, to divide the plateinto a plurality of sections. This dividing rib'may be positioned eithercentrally of the plate to divide the plate into a plurality of equalparts or offset from center to divide the plate into a plurality ofunequal parts or in any other suitable manner. 11 one part or section ofthe plate is a compact or cake of face powder or rouge 6 of one colorwhile on another section or part is a fact powder, compact or rouge cake7 of different shade or color. Or on one part of the plate a compactcake may be placed while on the other part is a rouge cake. It is theparticular object of my in vention, however, to provide the novelarrangement of a single plate carrying compact cakes of differentshadesor colors, one of which cakes is designed and intended fordaytime usewhile the other shade or color is better adapted and intended for use inthe evening or at night. The rib 10 which is detachably mounted in thevanity case 1 is shown detached in Fig. 1. It is provided with a bentend portion 12 to engage one portion of the wall of the vanity casewhile the other bent end 11, which is resilient, frictionally engagesthe wall of the vanity case at a point directly opposite to the member12. This rib 10 may be used with the form of the invention shown inFigs. 5 and 6 to insertin the space 5 to more eflieiently space thecakes 6 and 7 apart to prevent the user from accidentally getting thedusting pad on the wrong cake.

Referring to Figs. 2 and 3. In this form of the invention I provide acelluloid or similar rib 5 the flanges 13 of which may be glued orotherwise suitably affixed to the plate 4.

Referring to Fig. 4.. There is illustrated a modified form of compactholding plate which has the upstanding rib 8 at right angles to theplate, and which is also provided with an upstanding flange or cup 1 1.

It is within the contemplation of my in vention to provide any suitableupstanding member (o-divide the plate into any suitable plurality of.parts, whether the division rib 5 be an attached orimped part as in Fig.3, a turned up piece 8 as in Fig. 4, or a piece similar to Fig. 4 butglued, soldered, riveted or otherwise fastened to the plate 4.

Referring to Figs. 5 and 6, showing an improved form of my invention, itis within the contemplation of my invention to omit the dividing ribentirely and mount the two types or shades of compacts, cakes of cakesof the compacts or cakes of powder or rouge may more securely adhere tothe plate.

Referring to Fig. 7 illustrating another improved form of my invention,I provide compacts of different shades; or a compact and a rouge cake;or rouge cakes of different shades, arranged on opposite sides of aplate 4 in the manner illustrated in Fig. 7, and mount such'plate in anysuitable vanity case (not shown). In Fig. 7 the plate is perforated.

It is within the contemplation of my in- Ven-tionto provide either twoshades of ror two shades of powder, or rouge and pow on a compactcarrying plate or fiat base; in other worcs to provide a ijilurality oicontrasting cakes or compacts of the diverse character described,particularly wi h. a view of having one compactof one shade suitable foruse in the day and another con'ipact of a different shade for use in theevening, both carried on the same base in a single 'anity case and it isalso within the contemplation of my invention to either have these twoor more contrasting-g cakes or compacts or either equal size or ofunequal size and to occupy either all or only a part of the space in thevanity case according to which may be found to make the more attractiveand us ity case. o

It will be noted that the purpose of hav ing the holes punched in thecompact carryingplate or base 4 is to prevent the rouge or compact frombreaking oil from the plate or base 4. These holes or apertures 9 act asa pier for the powder, since when the unit is compressed the cake ofpowder or rouge is forced into these holes and the perforated base actsas a foundation so that the rouge or compact cannot easily break off.The holes or apertures 9 may be provided in any or all of the plates inany of the sevs e al forms of my invention illustrated in theaccompanying drawings, the holes or apertures being the e shown in Fig.5.

The term compact as used in the following); claims shall be construed toinclude both ice powder and cakes oi rouge.

It withii'i the conten'iplation oil? my in \e'i'itiou to chance the termo" base +1; from a flat base to a siutably curved or cupped base wherebyto more firmly holdthc compact on the base. at the san'ic timeutilizing; either the rib 5, rib 8,, or rib l0 and the dividing space asa separating element for the contreating shades oi same base.

Referring to Figs. 9 and 10.

I provide a plate 14L similar to the plate l and the other forms exceptthat it has bars of punched up tongues arranged on opposite sides of theplate with a space 16' between said tongues to receive the l..-shapedends i 7 bar 17.

This form of the invention relatively i to manufacture and the l.-shapedtorn". of the tongues provides a positive means for l citing thedividing bar 17 in place between the tongues 15. It is of course withinthe contemplation of my in- Y o pos..ion

e p ate into either equal portions or Jortions as desired and for thepurcompacts carried by the Referring to Fig. 11 there is illustrated amodified form closely related to the forms shown in Figs. 9 and 10except that'the bar 19 which substituted for the bar 17 has no l..-shape1l ends 18 to extend clear across to the wall of the-vanity case inwhichthe plate'l l is ren'iovably mounted. Y

The plates 14 may be provided with per- :l'orations to permit or moresecurely compressing the the lates if such construction is preferred.

il hat lclaim is- 1. In a vanity case of the class described, thecombination of a base plate, cakes of powder or rouge oi contrastingshades, and the said plate having apertures adapted'to cause thecompacts to adhere firmly to the plate.

2. In a vanity case of the class described, the con'ibination of aperforated plate, a plurality of? slightly spaced compacts of dif plate,a vanity case in which. the compact uate is removably mounted, a ribmember saving bent end portions to form contact members adapted'to'frictionally and resiliently engage the walls of the vanity case,

. mounted on the plate, a vanity case in which the compact plateisrcmovab-ly mounted, a rib i'ueiubcr having bent end portions to minicontact niennieis adapted to i ictioua 051" e e the walls oi? the anitycase, said r b meniscibeing disposed lwtween the space-d compacts.
